Once there was a milkman in a village. He used to sell milk to far places by carrying along can on his head. He called at each house and sold the milk.
It was a very tiresome business. Profit was not very high, but Ramu was able to lead a decent life with his family. But as he walked, he used to get lost in his thoughts and started daydreaming. One day, Ramu got extra money from the extra milk that he sold. From that money, he wants to buy some pets from the market. There he decided to buy a chick. He brought the chick home and was very happy to rear it.
The next day, as Ramu carried the load of milk, he thought to himself, "I have a chick now. Soon it will grow big and lay many eggs. These eggs will hatch into chicks. Those chicks will grow and they would also lay many eggs. Those many eggs would hatch and lay still many eggs. I will have still many chicks hatching and soon I shall become an owner of a very big poultry farm. Then, need not carry this long can of milk and sell milk at doorsteps of people." As he was in his dreams, he didn't notice a protruding stone. He tripped on it and lost his balance. The long can fell down and all the milk spilt on the ground. Only then did he realize foolishness.
Moral: DREAM CASTLES WILL BE OF NO USE.
